Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 23, 2013, Robert Half International Inc. issued a press release reporting earnings for the first fiscal quarter of 2013. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The foregoing information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such future filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 19, 2013, Plaintiff Vincent Uberti, on his own behalf and on behalf of a putative class of allegedly similarly situated individuals, filed a complaint in the Orange County Superior Court of the State of California, naming the Company (as well other defendants). With respect to the Company, the complaint alleges that a putative class of current and former employees of the Company working in California were denied compensation for the time they spent interviewing with current and potential clients of the Company, over an alleged “Class Period” covering four years prior to the filing of the complaint. Uberti seeks recovery on his own behalf and on behalf of the putative class in an unspecified amount for this allegedly unpaid compensation. Uberti also seeks recovery of an unspecified amount for the alleged failure of the Company to provide him and the putative class with accurate wage statements. Uberti also seeks recovery of an unspecified amount for statutory penalties, attorney’s fees and other damages. At this stage of the litigation, it is not feasible to predict the outcome of or a range of loss, should a loss occur, from this proceeding and accordingly, it is anticipated that no amount will be provided in the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the allegations and the Company intends to vigorously defend against the litigation.
